He has refrained from issuing a pastoral letter until he had formed a "tolerable accurate idea of our Diocese". He has nearly completed an extensive round of visits to missions. So few churches, so few priests, so few Catholics. Encourages a greater devotions to mass, the sacraments and to the Blessed Virgin Mother of God. An apostolic blessing for the diocese has been received.

The good Shepherd knows his sheep. The Bishop declares that from 2nd Sunday after Easter ("Bonus Pastor Sunday") he will start a Visitation which will remain open until he declares it closed. "The Bishop will therefore diligently visit the Church, the Presbytery, the Schools, the Cemetery and everything therein contained, and will examine the sacred vessels and furniture, the Altars, tabernacles, and whatever belongs to the worship of God or the administration of the sacraments." Visitation will be announced and confirmations should be arranged for then.
To the clergy: have ready two sheets of foolscap containing - a return for 1958 of Marriages, Baptisms, Conversions, Easter Communions, Deaths; list of details of mass obligations; List of all documents relating to the Mission; Statement of Mission . School property; Account of all debts and liabilities; Mission 1958 income/expenditure balance sheet; same for Schools; exact inventory of Church, Sacristy, House and Schools.

Provides an indication of his complicated arrangements for visiting the area. Apologises for treating everyone shabbily: has to include Gillingham (Mrs Kenyon), Beccles (Fr Campbell), Bungay (Fr MacEvoy), Woodbridge and Wroxham (Traffords) in one visit with no motorcar available.

Suggest Wednesday July 2nd - arriving on the day as have another appointment in the area. Sorry to hear about Dr Helsham, his Jesuit brother gave a poor account of it. Cyril Banham is doing well - have to curb his enthusiasm to keep him within his health compass.

Thanking Fr Clothier for the day - full of the Spirit. Good learn of the congregation's view of your pastoral care and that Tom Murray has chaperoned you into East Anglian parochial life. Thanks him for the Sony Clock/radio with the generous offering. Hope you can bring the Abbot with you for lunch on 1st July. Do take care of yourself - having a proverbial day-off and cosseting/feeding yourself!

Thanks for the warm welcome and good company. Apologies if not at best - had a mini-migraine. Offering is (see appropriate Ad Clerum) is for the "running of the diocese" and is set at half the Sunday collection. "It's not for my pocket. It's the only way to subsidise the diocese - I am not looking for loot, I assure you"

Thanks for the big cheque - this goes into the fund for "...running of the show..", it is not my personal emolument. Paragraph on the "centrality of the priest as THE Eucharistic Minister in collaboration with the bishop." Sorry for the people of Oxmoor but there was no alternative. "You will have found my fur hat" - arrangements for passing it on.

Thank you to Fr Mossey and Miss Cooper for the welcome and hospitality on Sunday. Obvious that he had to be at Buckden; but his own bug was developing fast and by the time he reached home he was not well and the doctor has confined him to the house for the next three days.

Having returned from an episcopal funeral in Portsmouth, invited to another in Liverpool by Archbishop Worlock for +Anthony Hitchen. You now know why the visitation is cut short - proposes to leave for Liverpool after lunch and hence cannot attend the school on Monday but offer Wednesday instead.
